My running schedule calls for a 7 mile run tonight.
I worked a 13 hour day yesterday and slept quite poorly last night. So of course, all I want to do is go to bed early tonight.
I keep making up excuses. I’m tired. I have chores to get done before I leave town on Friday morning. I have to pack. I have to do laundry. The house is a mess. I’m tired. (Yes, I said it already.)
But I can’t let the excuses get to me. The chores will be there tomorrow, and worst case, they will be there when I get back from my trip. I can do laundry and run on the treadmill at the same time. And there will be plenty of time to pack after work tomorrow as well.
So no matter what, tonight I have to stick to my schedule. I know I will feel amazing once the run is complete. It’s just getting started that’s the hard part.
